2. Temperatures greater than 26.7°C(80°F), the heat index
is displayed, as shown in the National Weather Service Heat
Index Table below:
10.4.2 Apparent Temperature (AT)
AT is a linear regression that is not restricted, and is more
appropriate to outside conditions because it includes wind, and
was intended as an assessment of what exposed body
surfaces feel like in cold, windy conditions
Regression equations of this universal scale are formulated for
indoors, outdoors in shade but exposed to wind, and outdoors
exposed to wind and solar radiation. Of these, outdoors in
shade but exposed to wind, has been chosen as most
informative.
